    It genuinely interests me.

    We have gone from having a division dominated by Wlad, to having one with a number of potential players.

    Wlad might still have one last great fight in him.

    I had Joshua tagged as an exciting prospect, pretty early in his professional career.

    I have always been sceptical of Wilder, but there is no questioning his firepower.

    I grossly underestimated Fury on the way up, but he is our lineal champion now, so he can churn things up again.

    Well said!

    We have some incredible fights coming up.
    If Lewis vs Klitschko was great, can you imagine Wilder vs Joshua? Both seem unstoppable.

    Their personalities are all great too. They all have the heart of a true champion. Wilder was just on TV, and was asked how Joshua came to be on his radar. His response was "You know, we sent all the Americans there to fight him, and they all got knocked out. So now he has the kings attention."

    And you got Tyson Fury in the background, looming.

    Ironically that's the best SHW display of infighting I've seen since Bowe v Golota.

    Fury is a horrible fighter. Very low skilled. One of the few fighters I laugh out loud at when I watch him fight. Only in the very messed up world of hwt boxing in 2016 do people believe a fighter like Fury can actually fight.

    Fury has amateur level skills or below. A joke of a fighter. As I watched his bout with Wlad I alternated between laughing out loud and shaking my head in utter disbelief. Certainly one of the low points in hwt championship boxing history in my lifetime.

    Past hwt champions with great skills? Johnson, Dempsey, Tunney, Louis, Ali, Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis. Fury is as amateurish as any hwt Ive seen fight for the championship. A joke. I can only count a handful of occasions I laughed at a fighters ineptitude during a hwt championship bout. During this bout my laughter sustained round after round. Beyond belief how low the hwt divisions talent pool has become. The sad part is that many fans are so deluded after so many years of watered down talent they think they are seeing good boxing.

    Ali was up at 3 and walked back to his corner.

    Yea up at 3 So dazed out of his brain he didn't know where he even was and stood back up again in the corner thinking he was still down trying to beat the count Dundee ripped the glove to get a max five minute postponement and whipped out the illegal smelling salts

    Fury was up at 3 looking CLEARER, SHARPER and most importantly EMBARRESSED AND SET ON GETTING REVENGE

    Vitali would be Furys nightmare . Lets put this into perspective .......Vitali losing to ANYONE would require hard punching and a at least decent power jabbing to keep up distance ,Fury has neither . Now lets look at the size aspect well the style of Vitali at 6'7 with the better jab (yes his jab is bc he can rotate into a hook and put or direct the opposition where he wants) fights ALMOST as frustrating as Furys style but Vitali has more mean behind his shots . Now chin could come into play but Fury is not going to have that either ,he may get a round here and there but make no mistake a 6'7 giant with better all around skills will defeat a 6'10 one and hes also smarter .

    Vitali decision win over Fury .

    Wlad knocks him out in a rematch and imop knocks him out with Steward almost certainly.
